THE CENTENNIAL.
The work of preparing for the Cen
tennial has commenced and by next
week all the committees will probably
be at work in earnest.
Arrangements have been made with
the Boston and Lowell Railroad to run
a special excursion train from Swanton
and also one from Greensboro. Both
of these trains will reach here early in
the morning and remain until after the
display of fireworks in the evening.
The fireworks for the occasion will
be supplied by the well-known Unex-
celled Fireworks Company of New
York.
A large quantity of bunting and
flags have been ordered for the purpose
of decorating the common and other
public places. Several private parties
have also ordered flags for decorating
their houses, and it has been suggested
that property owners see that their
houses are appropriately decorated.
Indications are that the occasion
will be Hyde Parks biggest event, not
excepting the famous Hoyt and Bax-
ter convention.
The executive committee has ap-
pointed the following officers and spec
ial committees for centennial day, and
request that one and all meet with
them at the American House Satur-
day evening of this week:
